Android now accounts for half of Instagram users

Instagram has certainly exploded. It was just a year ago that Instagram was made available for Android lovers with a dedicated app. Now the service shared on its blog that nearly half of its millions of users worldwide are now coming from Google’s mobile OS. It’s yet another sign that Android continues to rise in the ranks. Instagram got acquired by Facebook, and today the social networking giant will push out an HTC First phone with a forked Android version centered around the whole Facebook experience.

So obviously those Instagram usage numbers from Android devices will increase even more.
